Abstract
Agglomeration is a widely used process that plays a key role in de-dusting, controlling particle size and shape, controlling density and the overall performance of bulk solid products. The description here aims to provide various information regarding limestone agglomeration.. Limestone agglomeration efforts are based on work intended to process granulated limestone for the purpose of producing aggregates for inclusion in concrete. Agglomeration, or particle size enlargement, transforms powdered bulk solids into larger materials, either with random or controlled shapes, and with different performance characteristics. The performance of agglomerated products is determined by their composition, structure, and formation process. The specific objectives achieved during this study were to determine the process and results of the process of clustering for forming pellets from limestone-derived substances that serve as filter media for the absorption of metals. This allows for the estimation of important properties of the agglomerated products.
